NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION

To try again 
at wanting 

to be honest, 
to be common. 

To learn from the young 
to be blithe 

but look sullen. 
To break it 

into pieces 
too profuse 

to be included. 
To quit trying 

to fix it, 
accept it, 

or reject it—but 
just to learn 

from my cruelty 
and rudeness 

how best 
to be human.
